(hopefully) this is what I'll be doing for the rest of my life

A few hours ago on Twitter, I saw that one of the trending topics was #mydreamjob. It kind of inspired me to make this blog post, since I've been planning my dream job since I was in 6th grade. Hahaha. Sometimes I wonder why I even bother striving to achieve my goal, when I could easily settle for a "safe" job. But the thought of what it would feel like when I'm finally THERE, is just too good to not take a chance on.

So, I guess by looking at these sketches below, you could easily guess what my dream job is. Or probably not since some of them are, how do I put this, awful. And yes, they have the word "AMATEUR" written all over them.

This one was made in 2007. I was in 7th grade and I was in love with color-block (and I still do!). I know, I know, this is.... (insert your own opinion)



Made in late 2008. I was in 9th grade. A slight (?) improvement. I was reading this novel called "Poseur" and the sketches there were... amazing. And in a way, it just inspired me.



Three years later, 2011. This is my latest sketch.


I hope you are not paying too much attention to the dress because honestly, I think it's not that good. And I don't want to sound cocky, but I'm quite happy with this one because I finally know how to make eight-heads figure drawing aaand I'm learning how to (properly) use watercolor! I know, this still needs a lot of improvement and I am working on it, it's just that I want to share with all of you that I have not and will never give up on achieving my dream job ;)


P.S.: The funny thing here, is that all of the sketches are colored in purple and green! Coincidence?
